Houston TranStar Reviews

The only notification you’ll get, is high water. So you’re basically screwed when an accident, stall, or roadwork happens

HoustonTranStar says it can’t establish a connection anthem tells me to check my (fully wi-do and also cell data) connection. Closing and reopening HoustonTranStar did not fix the problem. Truly useless.

HoustonTranStar worked for one day yesterday. Today it keeps saying can’t read a connection and keeps trying to blame my Internet. My Internet is working fine and it only seems to be HoustonTranStar not getting a connection. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and all the regular troubleshooting and nothing worked. Shame, this could be a really helpful tool if it worked

It’s not in real time because it’s still showing me information for January

290 Northwest Freeway East bound road closure due to construction Sat June 1st. Why is this not posted on HoustonTranStar ???? I’ve been sitting in traffic for way too long. If HoustonTranStar served its purpose I would have jumped on 99. What’s the point of using this, very unreliable.

Is it posible to get a video of an accident I had last month as proof of evidence?? I have yet to try HoustonTranStar to give a good rating.

I have used HoustonTranStar and Waze for the last few years here in Houston and have found that Waze provides a generally accurate description of traffic conditions (as well as options to avoid), the Houston TranStar app is more usually inaccurate, generally underestimating the degree of traffic congestion. Frustratingly, as newer versions of HoustonTranStar are rolled out, reliability has gotten worse rather than better. I finally decided to delete HoustonTranStar in favor of Waze. Don’t waste your time with the TranStar app.

Wonder why Apple would allow this amateur app in HoustonTranStar Store. The user interface looks horrible, confusing and amateur. Back to the drawing board👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

btw, additionally to new UI. It needs to support iPhone X

Application keeps sending continuous alert about application not being able to connect to Trastar.

You can't read incident details if your phone is set to dark mode. They appear as white text on a mostly white background.

I used HoustonTranStar on the regular basis until a few weeks ago the map quit working. There is no updates and been frustrated that it does not work anymore.

Harder to read and less accurate than Google Maps.

When you try to look it the stall vehicles reports you can’t see what hwy it’s on

I’ve deleted and re-installed the new version and it is not anywhere near as good as the older version

Embedded weather forecast hasn’t updated from mid-Jan, though I’ve used apps many times since. Update icon doesn’t bring up any more recent info.

Not sure if it's intended but you can't enter the map from the home screen by pressing the map? I have to go to the menu. I have to assume a glitch, if not makes it pretty useless as a quick traffic check app. Developer has fixed the issue. Better than having to go to the webpage which was difficult to navigate. Good app.

It’s not perfect for everyone but it’s great for people driving into downtown . I wish they could get coverage along Bay Area Blvd & Red Bluff in the Pasadena & Clear lake area . They have a problem with roads flooding . But I think They are doing a good job !

This is a reliable way to get an overview of traffic delays all over Houston. They post incidents almost immediately after they happen (not always the case with other navigation apps), and they inform you which lanes are affected. App makes it easy to check the incident & construction maps before you leave for your destination so you can quickly plan your route. An absolute MUST HAVE APP if you drive in Houston - especially with the upcoming major freeway interchange closures scheduled for 2019. Props to developers and those at TranStar who make sure it continues to work. Thank You!
